polls from georgia's parliamentary elections suggest the president's ruling party is staring down the barrel of a humiliating defeat the indication so far that it would lose its majority in the chamber with the opposition georgian dream blog instead taking his place as a major force. in tbilisi with the latest. well in fact it still could change this is only at the results it's never an official result we are certain to be waiting for the official results come during the night presumably at three o'clock three o'clock in the night local time the first results will come out but i was told that the exit poll results come so early on. in parliament the majority area in season parliament have not been counted have not been included into the exit poll results and the situation may still change but definitely with already conceding defeat the situation is looking very interesting and the mood here in central beliefs is already a celebration with thousands already here in the streets driving their cars that

have at a fast speed their horns in celebration of what they believe to be a very crucial victory in a very crucial election i'd like to remind you of us that the pacha which gains majority in parliament following the stroke will then be able to appoint prime minister next year when he steps down and according to the new changes in the georgian constitution the prime minister will have just about the same powers as the president so definitely the path of the party which alliance of parties which wins the majority parliament will definitely have the future of georgia in their hands very very turbulent political campaign ahead of the election because in september the web. video video footage of a prison treacherous sexual abuse released to the public in georgia the massive public outcry and that is the one of the reasons rice some of the political analysts believe the ruling party's rating dropped as much as by twenty percent it's interesting because the. dream which was founded last year by.

really who makes up half of the country's national budget that party was for everyone said that the opposition stood absolutely no chance of getting anything out of this of this election that the ruling party is rating was too high for anybody to compete with it now going to their supporters as they could be winning this election which is as. somewhat of a sensation in georgian politics and definitely will be very interesting to see how the country's internal and domestic and international role change should the opposition gain the majority in the georgian problem and certainly we are following the situation and we'll bring you all the latest results as we get them during the night. today we will elect their bahrain's highest court rejected appeals by nine medics who hunted prison terms for their alleged role in the pro-democracy uprising there the original case true criticism from the un and outrage from international groups with many calling the verdict politically motivated now the medics treated

demonstrators move in clashes with these brutal crackdown peaceful rallies last year when court earlier found the defendants guilty of attempting to overthrow the government one of the medics will serve five years in the rest between a month and three years the ongoing protests in bahrain have seen dozens killed in clashes with police is demonstrate his continue to call for democratic reform as well as the resignation of an elected prime minister their member the country's largest opposition party color spoke to me and says the protests are about the only way for the opposition to deliver their message. the whole judicial process is sort of. on the direction of. and what happened today at the gas station. and all of this is just. an extension to that are. only going to be extended to the people so there is no talk about justice and the parliament because

you know just the. judicial are controlled by so even though we are present which we be in their part by change only are they given they can stay on important laws like. the. electoral law women issues so the president. is not. so that's why. we are doing is. being with our people our people doing. media. international reach out and monitor. what happened in geneva. sort of that is all those activists politicians who are clear vision to the national community know what's happening inside but. what you get more of the ongoing protests in bahrain and out the dog column where you can read up on the background of this the tourist case of the jailed medics that we're talking about

the course if you get a moment online accused of breaking the commandment not to steal because the story of the pope's former butler awaiting a court decision on charges of theft of private vatican letters were leaked. peace in syria depends upon a coordinated effort not just from damascus but also from neighboring states so says the country's foreign minister who addressed the u.n. general assembly is fierce fighting plagues his homeland let's get the full picture without his reporter covering the story for us new york hello there so marina can you flesh out first off some of the details of what syria's foreign minister had to say that. well as expected syrian foreign minister walid. spoke at length about the ongoing eighteen month civil war taking place in his country he accused the u.s. france turkey saudi arabia and qatar of inducing and aiding terrorism in his country by those countries actually arming financing and supporting the opposition

groups in syria he went on to say that the calls that western countries are making for president bashar al assad to step down is not only provoking more bloodshed in his country but he says it's also a blatant interference into syria's domestic affairs he said this success of any international effort in syria would require countries including turkey saudi arabia qatar and libya to stop arming funding in training the syrian opposition and to rather encourage dialogue so the syrian foreign minister will lead of course dressing the world body on the last and final day of the un general assembly he says that he is calling for a political solution and syrian led dialogue to agree on a roadmap to a more pool player wrist stick and democratic syria as as we've been reporting for the past week everybody's talking about the crisis in syria but it's not clear how

to exactly solve it but you do use one of the focal point. international leaders of them as well. well the dialogue and the disagreement hasn't changed all that much we heard u.s. president barack obama first called for. president bashar al assad to step down and then his sentiments were echoed by britain and by france the french foreign the french president's french president actually called on the world body to impose protections for the syrian opposition groups in opposition that have occupied the northern part of the country president obama said that just as us he says stood by supported and helped liberate the people in egypt and libya he would like to see the same thing done in syria but on the other hand you have many

other countries such as russia china brazil and so on and so forth saying that there can't be any outside intervention into what's taking place in syria this is a crisis that needs to be decided and it between the parties between the syrian government and the opposition and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov addressed the general assembly saying that the only way to solve this is through the six point peace plan that was outlined by former joint special envoy kofi annan many months ago and one of those six points calls for an immediate cease fire but the syrians are saying the syrian government is saying how will the opposition put their guns down if the western countries are calling for assad to step down the syrian government believes this is only provoking the opposition groups and the rebels to fight even harder and. one more thing that the syrian foreign minister said as he accused many western countries of turning

a blind eye to terrorism because he says syria suffered many terrorist attacks by the opposition groups western countries just the u.s. britain and france won't condemn them. because they are supporting the opposition. a correspondent in new york thank you very much for bringing us up to speed. the u.s. has deployed six military aircraft to its base on japan's southern island of okinawa protest to among locals opposed to the base the demonstrators say the safety record of a plane it's a plane a helicopter hybrid known as the all spray puts them at risk of first series of crashes in the past japanese police are forcibly removed hundreds of people have gathered outside the base to protest activists called for that marine base which is in a densely populated area if he shut his campaign on human rights activist dawson says their wishes though are unlikely to be met. these bases cause a lot of problems not only for safety very noisy issues and

a lot of conflicts with the servicemen themselves in the local areas but the u.s. isn't going to budge in that position they've been dragging their feet now for six years so i think it's highly unlikely bases will close nobody wants any of their bases there but for them to be bringing these in the twenty two osprey is from boeing is very dangerous they crashed as recently as june in florida that could fall on someone's head but that's not an exaggeration of these seeing they're a hybrid helicopter airplane and they haven't got the bugs out of them yet they always say they're building up a presence because of north korea and maybe part of that is true but i think a lot of it's a balance certainly in china as well it's like world war two never ended and there's still bases in germany as well there are necessary the residents don't want them but this is u.s. geopolitics they are never somewhere temporarily once the u.s. comes somewhere but they want to exception as saudi arabia and they put

a base they never ever leave. still ahead this ridding itself of bad publicity. campaign a number of cases where the government tried to shut down court hearings these proposals if they're pounced on will sweep away hundreds of millions of the pretty slick attributes we look at the british government's considering new legislation which critics say simply to hide its involvement in wrongdoing such as prison torture. plus the russian prime minister adds a famous friend on facebook but he didn't have to go online to do it has to be true from our business desk explains that dimitri no yeah we're talking about the head of facebook actually mark zuckerberg he is in moscow he has been walking around red square and went to one hundred dollars but also indeed met with prime minister dmitry medvedev they talked about the role of social networking and also discussed

the potential technological center for facebook but the media speculate there could be different reasons for coming so moscow actually could be either to boost facebook's presence in russia but also to go headhunting look for talented programmers in moscow this and much more after a short break on the. present. finances day starts at five am even earlier in the winter tending to his flock of three hundred sheep in the mountains and plains of teavana thirty five years old it wasn't the life he dreamt of having studied accounting but he dition unfamiliar duty dictated that he would take on the care of these animals after his father. he's just made camp at their winter found stage setting up his ute the traditional two fenian round tent made of diskin. his p.c. back amongst his family and his job is

fairly large percentage of muslims in this country according to some assamese they account for up to fourteen percent we're talking about many millions of people russia hasn't seen any violence of the stored build onto the streets and some arab countries and some asian countries and the plaintiffs in both cases both in moscow in in chechnya cited this care of that violence as one of their key arguments in trying to persuade the court to ban access to this movie in this country. rather world in brief notes a night some top stories for you heavy gunfire followed by several explosions in the fog on the outskirts of damascus says syrian government troops clash with rebels there meantime the fighting is continuing at the country's border with turkey to where at least twenty one people have been killed it comes a day after syrian state t.v. claimed government forces had carried out a successful operation in the country's commercial hub aleppo. euro zone

this proposed new legislation. nipping charges of complicity in the bud that's what the u.k. government admits it's trying to do with its plans for secret courts ministers have more secret courts a need is to protect sensitive information and the workings of security agencies but in documents seen by the guardian newspaper the government acknowledges it would benefit politically able to defend itself from allegations like complicity and torture without the details ever becoming public there have been a number of cases where the government has government lawyers have tried to shut down court hearings and have been heard in private as a minute has transpired true that your dish will price says that what they were really trying to cover out was a lot of government embarrassment about wrongdoing in the media agencies these proposals if their past will sweep away hundreds of years of the british legal

tradition the proposals follow a law suit brought by binyam mohamed who was held in guantanamo and all good the british government was complicit in his rendition and torture mohammed won the case to the d.p. million and if the government and now they're trying to change the north so the government often a party in these matters would decide if a case should be heard in secret it wouldn't just be kept from the public if the proposals go ahead neither the defendant nor the defendants legal team would be able to hear the evidence against the human rights lawyers are concerned it would trample on the principle of a fair trial in effect a large trial very important of the case you're trying to your client you're going to be. they're going to be behind closed doors closed sessions you are not. so if. on furnace there is a huge scope for. future miscarriages of justice evident. m i five and m i six

sensitive information is being considered and still the bill rolls on the plans for so-called secret justice approving. a. penny they keep turning up and every time they do it gives human rights groups another opportunity to weigh in legislation goes against one of the founding principles of the british legal system not only that justice is done but that it seemed to be done laura smith. very soon or not a lot of business update from moscow is just a few minutes away. he.

hello and welcome to the business updates on r.t. with me to meet you medvedev and co that's as we were saying earlier this hour mark zuckerberg the head of facebook is in moscow you arrived yesterday and for a stroll in red square went down to mcdonald's but today he had the official meeting parts with the prime minister dmitry medvedev they were discussing basically the fate of social networking and its role and also the possibility of creating a technological center in moscow right now mark zuckerberg is reportedly meeting with hackers from a group called digital oktober so many speculate he's actually here for personal head hunting of talented programmers tom bodett has the details. there are few names better known in the world of social media and technology than mark zuckerberg and he is today indeed in the russian capital facebook is not in fact the number

one social network in russia it's another social network called the contact which means in contact and he may well be here i'm sure part of the reason for his visit is to try and boost facebook's p.r. in russia and its market share but there has been another idea floated by the russian media quoting russian computer companies who say that he may well in fact be here to try and headhunt talented russians programmers and they're not happy about that prospect they point to nineteen ninety eight when russia was in a financial crisis and microsoft received similar accusations of. talented russian programmers and taking them back to the us was never the real reason that he was here he still managed to find time to pose for photos in red square in his trademark red hoody and to go into mcdonald's for a bite to eat so it seems that although the main message is technology it's not all about business. all right well let's take

a look now what's going on on the markets sandy in the united states all looking pretty positive. three quarters of a percent nasdaq also moved back into post a territory this is as manufacturing came in with an improvement the first one over the past month or so this has been the best keeping investors happy place over in europe markets were driven today not by unemployment data which showed eighteen point two million people were out of a job in the euro zone which is record value but rather by the mining sector extracts i was off more than three percent as it accepted a merger deal worth thirty three billion dollars with glencore international trade and. also spain is in the spotlight as debt levels will increase further next year despite the state's efforts to cut spending nation's debt is expected to reach eighty five percent of spain's u.d.p. this year ninety one percent.
